Laghuhari Das, a multi-disciplined artist passionate about creativity, believes that art is a universal language that can bring people together and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another. Through his diverse artistic endeavors and his current focus on creating altars for devotees and temples, Laghuhari aims to empower fellow devotees and establish a training program that promotes artistic expression and community building within the greater ISKCON society.
Born and raised in a modest household in South Africa, Laghuhari discovered his love for art at a young age. Escaping into the world of creativity provided solace from the challenges of life. His journey as an artist started with puppet shows, gaining devotees’ recognition and becoming his signature work within the ISKCON community.
Over the years, Laghuhari has explored various artistic mediums, but it was during the global lockdown that he “reinvented” himself. Unable to continue with puppet shows and desiring to pursue more profound and serious work, he turned his attention to crafting altars. This shift allowed him to explore new creative avenues and reflected his personal growth and evolving artistic aspirations.
